ROSE Blog: Rikki's Open Source Exchange
Mackenzie 'maco' Morgan and Moose J. Finklestein wrote an article about women speaking at Ohio LinuxFest 2010. They write, "With a little outreach effort, and embracing diversity as a core value, the Ohio LinuxFest has successfully recruited more women to share their experience at OLF."
One of the keynote speakers (Stormy Peters) is a woman, and Ubuntu User magazine contributor Amber Graner is also giving a talk this year.
Read maco and Moose's article to find out how they got so many women to submit talk proposals this year.
